Open Telecom Data meetup

(disponible en anglais seulement)

In this meeting, the importance of transparency in the telecommunications sector will be discussed from the point of view of achieving affordable access to communication infrastructure for all. We will look at lessons learned from the Open Data movement, how they might be applied to the sector, and what kind of opportunities they can bring for different stakeholders. We will also examine specific aspects of telecommunications infrastructure and look at examples of good practice in those areas. This will include fibre optic backbone infrastructure, tower networks, wireless spectrum assignments, and national backhaul network pricing. We will discuss what data are most relevant in this context. We will explore the relevance of these issues to civil society organisations (CSOs) and examine how they can engage with policy-makers, regulators and operators on this issue.

Outputs of this session will focus on defining concrete recommendations or tools needed to advance the state of Open Data in the Telecom sector. This may include further assessment of data availability in the sector, specific data standards as well as policy and regulatory recommendations.
